IIT Madras has launched an International Interdisciplinary Master’s degree program available in nine interdisciplinary areas: energy systems, robotics, quantum science and technology, computational engineering, advanced materials and nanotechnology, data science, cyber-physical systems, complex systems and dynamics, and biomedical engineering.
The master’s program duration will be two years and will be conducted at IIT Madras. The course is expected to commence in July 2022.
“These niche programmes are aimed at internationalisation of the IIT Madras campus, introducing students to a diversity of thoughts and cultures, which will serve them well when they compete in a global marketplace,” V Kamakoti, Director, IIT Madras, said.
